User Support Specialist, Melissa Celebrates 25 Years

Please join us in wishing a Happy 25 Years to Melissa Lee as she celebrates her anniversary! We'd like to express our deep gratitude to Melissa for the time she has spent here at KCU. Melissa has been an amazing part of our team, committed to our serving our members and making our credit union a better place.

“Melissa has been an integral part of the Indirect Lending team for many years, and her knowledge of our systems and processes has helped keep things running smoothly behind the scenes,” said Dave Hunter, VP of Indirect Lending. "She brings heart, insight, and a can-do spirit to everything she does—and she’s always willing to lend a hand or share her expertise.

“From all of us—thank you, Melissa, for everything you’ve given and continue to give. We’re proud to celebrate this incredible milestone with you!”

We asked Melissa a few questions about her time here at Kitsap Credit Union. Here's what she shared: 

Melissa first came to KCU as a temp, working in our records department, "After a few weeks I was hired as a part-time Records Specialist," she said. "About a month or two after that I was hired as a full time Records Specialist where I stayed for 7 years. I was able to help and learn other areas of Support Services and lend a hand when needed. I was then approached by the manager of Dealer Finance to apply for the Loan Processor position where I have stayed for the past 22 years. I was promoted to Indirect Lead Loan processor and held that position for 3 years. I was currently promoted to Indirect Lending User Support Specialist I and I have been in this role for the last 3 mos. I have enjoyed all of my journey through the years here at KCU."

When asked what her favorite memories have been at KCU, Melissa shared, "I really enjoyed so many things here these past 25 years. I think one of the best memories was when we would come together as a company at our holiday parties. It gave us the opportunity to meet new people and make great connections with other departments. 

"I have enjoyed all of the opportunities I have been given to grow here with KCU," Melissa said. "I am grateful for all the memories that come with working with a company for so long and all the people I have met along the way."

Happy 25 Years, Melissa! Thank you for all you do!
